  • Essay / Why major in Accounting - 830

    If your studies have been or will be interrupted, indicate the reason for the interruption and provide details. I really don't think anything can stop me from pursuing my dream of getting a degree. This has been my dream for many years and it is an opportunity that I cherish with all my heart. Before immigrating to the United States, I thought my dreams of earning a college degree would never come true because of my country's education system, my family's cultural beliefs, and my financial limitations. I come from a traditional Chinese family whose belief that girls access higher education exceeds the norm. Boys are considered the family treasure and are therefore the ones who are supported in their dreams of higher education. During my time at Wake Tech Community College, I was thrilled with the classes I was able to take and appreciate the knowledge I gained and how it opened my mind. I often reflect on the privilege I feel as a new immigrant: at my age, I can sit in the same class with other students much younger than me and benefiting from the same knowledge. I really appreciate this country and its wonderful education system and I feel that nothing can stop it.
